The obtained value of the pion-nucleon sigma term is compatible with the larger values already anticipated by the recent calculations. It is also found that the pion-Delta sigma term is as large as the pion-nucleon sigma term.14 pages, 2 figures; extended discussion and added references; version to be published in Phys. Lett.
